No, please don't confuse those two things. Yes, ACPI nodes can also hold a "reg" property, but the meaning of it depends on the binding which is exactly my point: _ADR is not a fallback replacement for "reg" in general and it is not so for MDIO too. The new function as proposed doesn't match the MDIO requirements and so it should not be used for MDIO. For MDIO, the exact flow mentioned above needs to be implemented (and if someone wants to use it for their use case too, fine). Otherwise the code wouldn't match the documentation.
